Author Description

This anthology is a collection of conserved lands from across the Commonwealth of Virginia. Each of 12 chapters contains poems, photos, and information about actual conserved properties from a land conservation organization or Tribe. They celebrate the beauty and value of conserved lands of all kinds including public wildlife management areas, conservation easements, city and riverside trails and park systems, and shoreline farms. Explore lands you've not yet seen, or re-explore familiar territory through poetry and art. Either way, we hope you are inspired by this diverse portrait of place.
